We support professional service providers and educational establishments that recognise the family business as a unique type of business enterprise and want to pay specific attention to it. One important resource for the development of our services is scientific research performed worldwide. The other is our partners’ many years’ experience in giving practical advice to family businesses. This combination of theory and practice enables us to help your business stand out from your competitors thanks to a unified, effective package of advice and education.

Family business administration is still a relatively young domain. However, scientific research already offers good insights into the unique way the family business operates and differs from non-family businesses.

For professional service providers and educational establishments this distinction is highly relevant as family businesses, large or small, contribute around 50% to GNP and employment worldwide.

Family businesses differ strongly from one another, from SMEs to listed companies and from locally to globally active. The family role is also a distinguishing factor, from owner/founder to several generations or even to those no longer active in the business.

Despite their many differences, family businesses also have many strategic challenges in common. Challenges in the area of family, ownership and business.

Fambusco Resources has the knowledge and skills to help your organisation develop a more refined insight into the operations of a family business. We help translate this into a proposition that are tailored to your clients with the features of a family business, or your students who are or will be working for or in the family business.
